Default Rotograph Team Postcard help needed

Posted By: Jeff J

Andy, Here's what I have learned so far: This identifies two college HOFers and the Coach.
I still know nothing about the card itself...ie: set name, type, scarcity or value...

I think I have your answer: 1904

Here is how I came about this. I recoginized two of our Hall of Famers. Hugo Bezdek (row 2 2nd from right) and Walter Eckersall (row 1 far left) The only years that they played together were 1903, 1904 and 1905. I found a 1905 team shot in a book, so it's not 1905. I think it is 1904 and not 1903 beacuse Maxwell played on the 1903 team and I don't see him in the photo. The team roster does list a LW Maxwell but not RW Maxwell (Tiny) for 1904.

The number of lettermen for 1904 is 18. Players in the photo: 18. In 1903 they only list 16 letter winners.

Yes Stagg was the coach.


Thanks Jeff J
